Description:

A proven pedagogical framework gives students the support they need! Now with an even stronger pedagogical framework, Moran & Shapiro's Fifth Edition of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics presents a comprehensive treatment of engineering thermodynamics. The text helps you develop a deeper and more complete understanding of the subject. Here's how Moran & Shapiro's approach works: New Thermodynamics in the News items tie reports from the popular press, such as fuel cells, to concepts covered in the text. A strong problem-solving methodology encourages readers to develop an orderly approach to problem solving, think systematically, and reduce typical errors. End-of-chapter…
